welovetrump--2020-04-15--Trump Campaign Sues NBC Affiliate for Coronavirus Hoax Ad, Says It’s “Defamatory and False”

Many of the president 's allies agree that Democrats have been using the `` hoax '' statement out of context .
President Trump never said that COVID-19 was a hoax .
In fact , prior to the rally where he said that the Democrat reaction was their `` new hoax , '' Trump had already secured the United States border with China .
Trump did this before any other politician was even on board with the policy .
If Trump believed that the virus itself was a hoax , would he have secured the borders ?
The New York Post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump campaign : President Trump ’ s campaign on Monday filed a lawsuit against an NBC affiliate in Wisconsin for running an anti-Trump ad the campaign called “ false and defamatory , ” including the claim that he referred to the coronavirus as “ a hoax.
” “ Donald J.

The ad was produced by Priorities USA , a super PAC supporting Joe Biden , and uses Trump ’ s early quotes dismissing the severity of the coronavirus threat juxtaposed with a graph showing the soaring number of cases in the US .
“ One day , it ’ s like a miracle , it will disappear , ” read one of the quotes .
“ No , I don ’ t take responsibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another sound bite .
The ad also features the president ’ s use of the word “ hoax ” when discussing the virus .
The ad suggests that he was referring to the virus itself when he uttered it at a campaign rally , while Team Trump argues that he was referring to Democrats ’ attacks on his handling of the threat as another hoax , the word he used to dismiss the Russia probe into his campaign and the House vote to impeach him over his call to the president of Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quotes are accurate , the suit contends that the way they were presented creates the false impression that Trump ’ s statements came during the later stages of the pandemic .

Many of the president's allies agree that Democrats have been using the "hoax" statement out of context.
Context matters.
President Trump never said that COVID-19 was a hoax.
In fact, prior to the rally where he said that the Democrat reaction was their "new hoax," Trump had already secured the United States border with China.
Trump did this before any other politician was even on board with the policy.
If Trump believed that the virus itself was a hoax, would he have secured the borders?
Likely not.
The New York Post has more on the defamation lawsuit from the Trump campaign:
President Trump’s campaign on Monday filed a lawsuit against an NBC affiliate in Wisconsin for running an anti-Trump ad the campaign called “false and defamatory,” including the claim that he referred to the coronavirus as “a hoax.”
“Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. today filed a lawsuit against WJFW-NBC of Rhinelander, WI for defamation in the wake of an advertisement carried by the station that contained intentionally false and defamatory statements about President Trump,” the campaign said in a statement.
The suit was filed in Price Count circuit court, and followed a cease-and-desist letter and supporting documents sent last month.
The ad was produced by Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting Joe Biden, and uses Trump’s early quotes dismissing the severity of the coronavirus threat juxtaposed with a graph showing the soaring number of cases in the US.
“One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” read one of the quotes.
“No, I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump said in another sound bite.
The ad also features the president’s use of the word “hoax” when discussing the virus.
The ad suggests that he was referring to the virus itself when he uttered it at a campaign rally, while Team Trump argues that he was referring to Democrats’ attacks on his handling of the threat as another hoax, the word he used to dismiss the Russia probe into his campaign and the House vote to impeach him over his call to the president of Ukraine seeking information on Biden.
While the quotes are accurate, the suit contends that the way they were presented creates the false impression that Trump’s statements came during the later stages of the pandemic.
Scientists have quietly admitted that Trump's early actions have saved an uncountable number of lives.
Community spread was always expected to happen in the United States, but thanks to President Trump, the outbreak is much smaller than the initial reactions.
For example, there was never a lack of ventilators, as many in the media breathlessly predicted.
So far, every patient in the United States who has needed a ventilator has been able to get one.

welovetrump--2020-04-15--Virginia Governor Ralph Northam Drops Voter ID Requirements

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage across the nation , Democrat politicians appear to be focused on partisan politics rather than uniting to fight against the virus .
Northam 's move has been criticized as especially tone-deaf during an election year .
The Hill has more details on Northam 's removal of the voter ID requirement : Virginia will no longer require voters to show a photo ID prior to casting a ballot and the state will join a handful of states across the nation in making Election Day a state holiday , Gov .
Ralph Northam ( D @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signed a series of bills aimed at expanding access to voting .
“ Voting is a fundamental right , and these new laws strengthen our democracy by making it easier to cast a ballot , not harder , ” Northam said in a statement Sunday .
“ No matter who you are or where you live in Virginia , your voice deserves to be heard .
I ’ m proud to sign these bills into law.
” Northam signed a bill replacing a state holiday , Lee-Jackson Day , that honored Confederate generals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Day .

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage across the nation, Democrat politicians appear to be focused on partisan politics rather than uniting to fight against the virus.
Northam's move has been criticized as especially tone-deaf during an election year.
The Hill has more details on Northam's removal of the voter ID requirement:
Virginia will no longer require voters to show a photo ID prior to casting a ballot and the state will join a handful of states across the nation in making Election Day a state holiday, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced Sunday.
Northam said he signed a series of bills aimed at expanding access to voting.
“Voting is a fundamental right, and these new laws strengthen our democracy by making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder,” Northam said in a statement Sunday. “No matter who you are or where you live in Virginia, your voice deserves to be heard. I’m proud to sign these bills into law.”
Northam signed a bill replacing a state holiday, Lee-Jackson Day, that honored Confederate generals with a state holiday designated for Election Day.
He also signed a bill repealing Virginia’s voter ID law and a bill expanding access to early voting.
The new bill allows for early voting 45 days prior to an election without a stated excuse; Virginia previously required absentee voters to provide the state with a reason from an approved list.

welovetrump--2020-04-16--Breaking: Elizabeth Warren Endorses Joe Biden

Warren is the last of Biden 's top former rivals to throw their support behind the former vice president .
The endorsement comes as the Democratic Party attempts to unify and turn its focus to a general election campaign against President Donald Trump .
Former President Barack Obama endorsed his former running mate on Tuesday .
Warren 's endorsement comes two days after Sen. Bernie Sanders officially got behind Biden 's campaign , with the Vermont senator calling on his allies to now support the presumptive Democratic nominee .
When Warren ended her campaign last month , there was intense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either Biden or Sanders .
But as time passed and Biden continued to grow his delegate lead , when asked about a potential endorsement , Warren publicly said that she was focused on the coronavirus pandemic and also that she wanted to give Sanders `` space to decide what he wants to do next . ''
Warren , a leader in the progressive movement , was at one point considered a top contender for the Democratic nomination .
The Massachusetts senator centered her presidential bid on fighting corruption in Washington , and released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ addressed a wide range of issues .
But after disappointing finishes in primary contests across the country on Super Tuesday and failing to build a broader political coalition in a Democratic Party , Warren ended her presidential campaign in March .
Warren , who is more aligned with Sanders on policy positions and ideology , was fiercely critical of the former vice president in the primary campaign .
The same night former South Bend , Indiana , Mayor Pete Buttigieg , Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar , and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke endorsed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Los Angeles that `` no matter how many Washington insiders tell you to support ( Biden ) , nominating their fellow Washington insider will not meet this moment . ''
Biden had previously accused Warren on a radio show of having an `` elitist attitude , '' and told donors that her campaign was based on a `` my-way-or-the-highway attitude . ''
But in an attempt to win over progressive voters , Biden has been taking steps to embrace his former rivals , including Warren , and adopt parts of their platforms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bankruptcy proposal to repeal portions of a law Biden and Warren had clashed over 15 years earlier .
Biden and Warren in 2005 had a high-profile battle over a bill that made it more difficult to declare bankruptcy , when Biden was a Delaware senator and leading advocate of the measure and Warren was a Harvard professor and vocal opponent .
Warren is an expert on bankruptcy law and was an adviser to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission in the 1990s .

Fox News released details on Warren's message:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday endorsed Joe Biden for president more than a month after ending her own presidential bid, becoming the latest prominent Democrat to fall in line behind the presumptive nominee in a bid to show unity.
"In this moment of crisis, it’s more important than ever that the next president restores Americans’ faith in good, effective government—and I’ve seen Joe Biden help our nation rebuild. Today, I’m proud to endorse," she tweeted, along with a video.
The Massachusetts senator had withheld an endorsement ever since ending her campaign in early March, even as the race narrowed to essentially a contest between Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders. But with Sanders dropping out last week, Biden became the presumptive nominee.
Warren follows both Sanders and former President Barack Obama in formally endorsing the former vice president.
The populist senator with a plethora of progressive policy plans ended her White House bid on March 5, two days after she came in a disappointing third in the primary in her home state of Massachusetts.
Biden instantly praised Warren after she ended her White House bid, tweeting at the time that "Senator @EWarren is the fiercest of fighters for middle class families. Her work in Washington, in Massachusetts, and on the campaign trail has made a real difference in people's lives. We needed her voice in this race, and we need her continued work in the Senate."

“ She is my former press secretary — not on the payroll , ” Sanders noted .

Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected ?
” He continued : “ I believe that it ’ s irresponsible for anybody to say , ‘ Well , I disagree with Joe Biden — I disagree with Joe Biden !

The Hill also reported on Trump 's warning to Congress : '' The Senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or it should formally adjourn so I can make recess appointments , '' Trump said .
`` We have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government .

Article II , Section 3 of the Constitution grants Trump the power to `` on extraordinary occasions , convene both Houses , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of disagreement between them , with respect to the time of adjournment , he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper . ''

President Trump announced during a White House address Wednesday that he is considering adjourning Congress and using its absence to make political appointments.
"If the House will not agree to that adjournment I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress," he said.
The president claimed his administration is understaffed and blamed congressional Democrats for holding up his confirmations and stonewalling his agenda.
Trump added that he has the constitutional authority to dismiss both chambers and accused Congress of failing the American people and shirking their responsibilities as elected leaders.
"The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony, pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis," he said. "It is a scam, what they do."
Trump also declared that the country has "passed the peak" in the number of cases for COVID-19, and said further announcements about new guidelines would be shared with the public on Thursday.
“The battle continues but the data indicates that we have passed the peak,” he said.
“We think some states may be able to open before May 1,” Trump added. “We want to get our country open again.”

welovetrump--2020-01-21--Trump Promises To Protect 2nd Amendment As Over 22K Rally Against Gun Control In Virginia

More than 22,000 armed gun-rights activists peacefully filled the streets around Virginia ’ s capitol building on Monday to protest gun-control legislation making its way through the newly Democratic-controlled state legislature .
Despite fears that neo-Nazis or other extremists would piggyback on the Richmond rally to stoke unrest like the violence at a 2017 demonstration by white nationalists in Charlottesville that killed a counter-protester , the Capitol Police reported just one arrest , a 21-year-old woman taken into custody for wearing a bandana over her face after twice being warned that masks were not allowed .
Chants of “ USA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others praising President Donald Trump reverberated as men and women carrying handguns and rifles squeezed into the streets around the Virginia state capitol , standing shoulder-to-shoulder for three blocks in all directions .
There was a heavy security presence after Governor Ralph Northam banned carrying weapons onto the capitol grounds and the FBI earlier last week arrested three alleged neo-Nazis who it said intended to use the event to spark a race war .
But by 1 p.m .
ET , nearly all rally-goers had left the area , with volunteers picking up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimated the crowd at 22,000 people .
Activists at the rally organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League argued that Virginia was trying to infringe on their right to bear arms , which is protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution .
“ What ’ s going on here , if not stopped , will spread to other states , ” said Teri Horne , who had traveled to Virginia from her home in Texas with her Smith & Wesson rifle and .40-caliber handgun .
“ They will come for our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t stop them in Virginia.
” Northam , a Democrat , has vowed to push through new gun control laws and is backing a package of eight bills , including universal background checks , a “ red flag ” law , a ban on assault-style rifles and a limit of one handgun-a-month purchase .
It does not call for confiscating guns currently legally owned .

Independent has more to say on the rally and why it was held:
Thousands of guns rights activists descended on Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia, for a rally after the state Senate passed a series of bills limiting the purchasing of firearms and establishing mandatory background checks.
Gun owners rallied on the streets amid heavy security, with many demonstrators holding weapons, pro-gun rights banners and wearing camouflage clothing. Activists were campaigning for their right to bear arms, which is protected by the Second Amendment of the constitution.
Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA) declared a state of emergency and temporarily banned guns on capitol grounds as the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) held its annual Lobby Day demonstrations on Martin Luther King Jr Day.
The demonstrations come less than a week after the gun control measures were advanced in the state legislature, setting up for a contentious showdown between gun owners attending the rally and counter-protestors calling for common sense reforms in Virginia, known for its lax gun laws.

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney , R-Wyo.
, blasted the House Democrats ' impeachment of President Trump on Wednesday , arguing that their case will be on record as the “ thinnest in history.
” “ What they ’ ve done here is completely abdicate their duty to the Constitution , and the voters are absolutely going to hold them to account for this , ” Cheney told “ Fox & Friends.
” President Trump , in a blistering , no-holds-barred six-page letter Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , lambasted the Democrats ' impeachment inquiry as an `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writing that she has violated her oath of office and `` cheapened the importance of the very ugly word , impeachment ! ''
The president argued that Democrats were trying to distract Americans from the strong economy and historically low unemployment numbers , and pointed out that Democrats have openly called for impeachment since the day he took office .
Cheney said that the impeachment inquiry was conducted in `` secret , '' objecting to Republicans not being allowed to question the witnesses until public hearings began .
The lawmaker also argued that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` They ’ re now in a situation where they are bringing articles of impeachment to the floor and saying we should impeach the president based on the assumption of some impeachable behavior , '' she said .
Trump 's letter came a day before House Democrats are expected to vote along party lines to impeach him , sending the matter to the GOP-controlled Senate for a virtually certain acquittal .
Moderate Democrats in districts Trump won in 2016 largely have fallen in line in favor of impeachment , with only two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not say that if you don ’ t like the president -- if you disagree with his policy -- that you can impeach him because you are assuming that he ’ s done something wrong , '' Cheney said .

And from Fox News:
House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., blasted the House Democrats' impeachment of President Trump on Wednesday, arguing that their case will be on record as the “thinnest in history.”
“What they’ve done here is completely abdicate their duty to the Constitution, and the voters are absolutely going to hold them to account for this,” Cheney told “Fox & Friends.”
President Trump, in a blistering, no-holds-barred six-page letter Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, lambasted the Democrats' impeachment inquiry as an "open war on American Democracy," writing that she has violated her oath of office and "cheapened the importance of the very ugly word, impeachment!"
The president argued that Democrats were trying to distract Americans from the strong economy and historically low unemployment numbers, and pointed out that Democrats have openly called for impeachment since the day he took office.
Cheney said that the impeachment inquiry was conducted in "secret," objecting to Republicans not being allowed to question the witnesses until public hearings began. The lawmaker also argued that Democrats have failed to prove their case.

Trump's letter came a day before House Democrats are expected to vote along party lines to impeach him, sending the matter to the GOP-controlled Senate for a virtually certain acquittal.

"The Constitution absolutely does not say that if you don’t like the president -- if you disagree with his policy -- that you can impeach him because you are assuming that he’s done something wrong," Cheney said.
"It’s really a sad day, a tragic day."


welovetrump--2020-01-20--President Trump Signs Executive Order To Protect Students’ Constitutional Right To Pray In Schools

President Trump ’ s signing of an executive order Thursday that allows students to pray in public schools is good news that should be welcomed by all Americans – whether or not they believe in God and the power of prayer .
As a pastor , I have a suspicion that the historic ruling of the Supreme Court in 1962 to remove prayer from our schools may have contributed to the litany of social ills that have plagued America since .
These ills include the breakdown of the family , the rise in violent crime , the opioid epidemic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopelessness that pervades our younger generations .
The list goes on and on .
Before the Supreme Court ruling – in the days when prayer was allowed – some teachers offered their own prayers in school , while others read the Lord ’ s Prayer or recited the well-known Psalm 23 .
New York students prayed each day : “ Almighty God , we acknowledge our dependence on Thee and beg Thy blessing over us , our parents , our teachers , and our nation.
” A benign prayer , perhaps , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s providence and sovereignty .
Do we not in the Pledge of Allegiance still say : “ One nation under God , indivisible , with liberty and justice for all ” ?
The fact of the matter is that , despite many efforts to remove prayer from our schools and the public square , we can not remove prayer from the history of the United States .
`` Whereas , it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God , to obey His will , to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to implore His protection and favor – and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me 'to recommend to the people of the United States a Day of public thanksgiving and prayer , to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God ’ … I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being.
” The result of that proclamation was the creation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of months ago called Thanksgiving .
Yet what I find just as remarkable is that the proclamation was ratified by both houses of Congress .
Today our houses are divided like never before , especially with the impeachment proceedings against President Trump .
Ironically , the one thing members of both parties in Congress still agree on is to begin their sessions in the House and Senate with an opening prayer .
Can you imagine if they came together and prayed for the future of America ?
I believe God would hear that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ healing in America .
Such a prayer wouldn ’ t be out of character for America .
For one , our Founding Fathers assumed the majority of Americans believed in Jesus , but those who didn ’ t weren ’ t treated any differently .
This is because our nation was forged out of religious freedom .
And just as America had great Founding Fathers – such as George Washington , John Adams , Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin – we also had a spiritual Founding Father : a man named George Whitefield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who preached the gospel to the colonists .
Historians believe that by the time his ministry was completed , 80 percent of the colonists had heard him .
Whitefield ’ s ministry sparked a spiritual awakening across the 13 colonies .
Untold thousands believed , and it was in the soil of virtue and morality that the seeds of liberty could be planted .
Patrick Henry , another Founding Father , is believed to have once remarked : “ It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but by Christians ; not on religions , but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ .
For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum , prosperity , and freedom of worship here.
” Sadly , it is the lack of this virtue and morality that is the root of so many of our current problems .
We need more prayer in America today , and not just in our schools , but in our courts , culture and in our personal lives overall .
More than 50 percent of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and answers those prayers .
However , a recent survey revealed that Americans who believe in God or prayer hit an all-time low in 2014 .
My hope is that we will remember America was a nation born out of prayer .

Here's what Pastor Greg Laurie wrote on Fox News:
President Trump’s signing of an executive order Thursday that allows students to pray in public schools is good news that should be welcomed by all Americans – whether or not they believe in God and the power of prayer.
As a pastor, I have a suspicion that the historic ruling of the Supreme Court in 1962 to remove prayer from our schools may have contributed to the litany of social ills that have plagued America since.
These ills include the breakdown of the family, the rise in violent crime, the opioid epidemic, the rising suicide rates and the general hopelessness that pervades our younger generations. The list goes on and on.
Before the Supreme Court ruling – in the days when prayer was allowed – some teachers offered their own prayers in school, while others read the Lord’s Prayer or recited the well-known Psalm 23.

The fact of the matter is that, despite many efforts to remove prayer from our schools and the public square, we cannot remove prayer from the history of the United States.
In 1789, President George Washington made this public proclamation:
"Whereas, it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor – and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me 'to recommend to the people of the United States a Day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God’ … I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being.”
The result of that proclamation was the creation of an event we celebrated a couple of months ago called Thanksgiving. Yet what I find just as remarkable is that the proclamation was ratified by both houses of Congress.
Today our houses are divided like never before, especially with the impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Ironically, the one thing members of both parties in Congress still agree on is to begin their sessions in the House and Senate with an opening prayer.
Can you imagine if they came together and prayed for the future of America? I believe God would hear that prayer and we could have a much-needed healing in America.
Such a prayer wouldn’t be out of character for America.
For one, our Founding Fathers assumed the majority of Americans believed in Jesus, but those who didn’t weren’t treated any differently. This is because our nation was forged out of religious freedom.
And just as America had great Founding Fathers – such as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin – we also had a spiritual Founding Father: a man named George Whitefield.
